Trump is Trump, not (favorite boogieman here).

"Trump is Hitler!" "Hitler is Trump!" "Putin is Hitler!" "Saddam is Hitler!" "Gaddafi is Hitler!" "Netanyahu is Hitler!" "Martha Stewart is Hitler!" "Hitler is Rosie O'Donnell!"

Give me a break.
Trump is an immensely successful real-estate developer, brand merchandiser, reality-tv showman, New York celebrity complete w/NY bluntness, a former celebrated man-about-town turned family man in business with his kids, a New York version of the Waltons (both the ones on the mountain and the ones who own Walmart). Horatio Alger from the Big Apple. A larger-than-life super achiever. He's rude and crude and he doesn't do "tone". His impolitic bluntness is the antidote to Kool-Aid-saturated political correctness. He's the reality-television version of Elon Musk. You love him or hate him (envy and the alpha-male instinct). He's authentic and he's meteoric. He's a builder, not a destroyer, not a killer.
Lose the hysteria. You wish you were Donald Trump, same as you might wish you were Hugh Hefner. It's okay. We're all human. We understand secret love.

"Terrorism" and other manipulations

From The Next Big Future, which I believe is Brian Wang's website/blog (I'm new at this stuff) , I find a piece entitled Terrorism is a subset of Murder http://nextbigfuture.com/2011/03/terrorism-is-subset-of-murder.html (asserting, if I get it right, that Terrorism is illegitimate by virtue of being criminal). One commenter, Gigi, responded: As I have already tried to say before, I consider any use of the word “terrorism” more or less pointless. In fact, reading much of the western media about “terrorism” there is almost nowhere any clear definition of the word “terrorism”, for the simple reason that for any kind of such definition many of the military actions taken by the West against unarmed civilians in, say, Iraq or Vietnam may well fall in this definition. Is this an action of terrorism? http://boingboing.net/2010/04/... Simply put it, if Hamas kills one Israeli civilian it is terrorism, if the US or Israel directly kill 10 or more Palestinian it is

Ethics vs tribal criminality

Israel is a geopolitical crime-in-progress. No crime has a right to exist, no criminals in the commission of a crime have the right to self-defense. They have the right to surrender to a competent authority, have the "issue" adjudicated by a fair judicial authority, and if found guilty to be subject to a proportionate penalty, and after having served their time, permitted once again to participate in lawful society. The greatest existential threat to Israel,... is Israel. I'm an American and a Jew, just not a supporter Zionist or American criminality. You, on the other hand appear to be utterly untouched by any taint of ethics outside criminal tribalism. Sad. Small detail: the Saudi oil production facilities can be destroyed with conventional explosives. Nukes not necessary.

Trump is just the opening act

The United States invented al-Qaeda in Afghanistan. By overthrowing Saddam, the United States enabled al-Qaeda in Iraq. The regime change attempt by CIA-supported Al-Qaeda terrorists in Syria enabled the resurgence of al-Qaeda in Syria, which then morphed into ISIS. The CIA regime-change proxy war forced the re-positioning of the Syrian Army to defensible positions. That meant a withdrawal from Eastern Syria and redeployment for the defense of the Damascus population centers. That in turn created the power vacuum in Eastern Syria that enabled the creation of ISIS in Syria, the re-invasion of Iraq, and the creation of the ISIS Caliphate. The Neocon-subverted/Israel-subverted US remains the world's foremost "useful idiot" state sponsor of jihadi terrorism,... on behalf of Israel. So the entire shjtstorm in the Mideast is entirely the result of the United States Neocon-dominated, State Department-directed foreign policy, which, simply put, is the United States acting as
